Correct, and with the lockers, if they default to locked, I would remove them from the equation by lifting up both intermediate axel tires if you have to. However if they are unlocked and you lift both tires, one will sping forward and the other back while the driveshaft doesn't spin (depending...

Jack up one intermediate tire off the ground and it should spin freely, engage the lock and it should not.

I just put in half the pulse count, same with the cat ECM. Cat ECM controls speed readout, CTIS just for the alerts of pressure overspend so no critical at all

That's an interesting idea! I haven't ordered the major materials yet so I'll give it some thought.

Have a part number/NSN for that trans controller with the WTEC 4?

Pull and wiggle essentially. There is a spring clamp holding them in. https://graphicvillage.org/meritor/TP02102.pdf

So I actually tried 3mph, it wouldn't allow it (humorously giving an error saying 0-10 was the acceptable range). 5 was the lowest it would take, 4 was a no go.

I've heard that happens although mine have come off with the hub so far. I also made my kids learn welding for the hub nut 😄

Some reference...I think I go the Cat software correctly set, any comments? For the Allison side of things, I haven't had a chance to really look into it, and I've never tried to change the parameters before. I took screenshots of the "user configurable" area (although I couldn't find out...

I thought I read the C7 got a different tooth count on the oil pump? Came up in this thread https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/mav%E2%80%99s-m1088a1-conversion.212126/post-2503751

I have that first book, it's pretty well done. Yes those plates have their place and I plan to add them in time as an extra safety measure. They are much more important in applications where there are only a couple spring bolts and the tolerances between holes are high. In my setup, I had the...

Don't want it screaming rpms when coming down the hills around here. I get it's more effective but I'd like to not have it at it's redline.ive been happy with its braking in 4th before it downshifts to 3rd.

Great info! I haven't seen the cruise control menu in cat et, I'll have to look for it. I do have access to Allison software, but how does target gear work? If I say target gear is two, does it always try to hit gear 2 when engaging the brake? Does it care about engine redline? I'm happy with...

Permetex black (oil resistant) has worked well for me for my 12 hub swaps

Got to try out the spring setup and results are....great! Went to the same spot and flexed out the truck as much as I am likely too. Front springs compressed the most, to about 80% of available travel. Tried some "evasive driving" to see if I could get the box to rock but it wouldn't. Still...

686 lbf Currently have 15 per side, 7 front, 8 rear, 5 channels in the middle are bare for now.

Using a link system does have it's place, however I don't see many benefits in this type of box setup. Max it can shift now is only about 1mm. I'd rather have that level of control than if I do a link system since there's a swing arc and that means I would have to have larger through holes to...

Moving forward with an internal frame setup so I don't have any thermal bridges. Unistrut compatible framing from Menards was on sale, 12% off. Installing and testing the spring compliance setup. Tough to see on the camera but jacking up the box lifts the frame a lot, I'll get the rest installed...

Do you have a part number for the AC you are using? If not, BTU specs?

Agreed, not as likely but he did mention welding so I figured I'd throw it out there
